“On Ramps into God’s New Community”

“Each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”
Acts 2:47 (NLT)



There are at least 5 “on ramps” that will lead you into experiencing God’s New Community, Life Together, the “hub”, where God is building a family where each flourishes and where all flourish together. And these on ramps are open to each of us any time we choose to use them .

On-ramp # 1 - Sunday Worship

Regular attendance will put you into the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, into the community of God’s family, into the the teaching of the “Word” and offer you to the opportunity to live beyond yourself by being attentive to others and their lives.

On-ramp # 2 – Adult Classes

Each week you can attend a class at either worship hour which will review what was taught in worship service and will prepare you for the coming Sunday’s message.

On-ramp # 3 – Scripture reading and reflections

If you follow these 5 day a week scripture readings and reflections you will read the entire book of Acts, (what the Holy Spirit did after the resurrection) and this reading will work to shape you into God’s best version of you.

On-ramp # 4 – Life Groups

Christianity is a “contact sport”. Lone rangers do not grow, experience power and life, and often die on the vine. In community we grow. It is here where we “do” what we learn in worship, class and scripture. Doing life together is where is action is, where the fun begins.

On-ramp # 5 – Life Café

This will take place every Wednesday night beginning October 6.
6:15 - 7:00 Fellowship and food in the CLC lobby area
7:00 – 7:15 Video clip and Scripture
7:15 – 7:45 Group Discussions on the topic of the week
7:45 – 8:00 Sharing, requests, needs, and the Lord’s supper (informally but
meaningfully)
8:00 – 8:30 Hang out
